Working out doesn’t have to be an unfashionable, gross time for you! There are some great ways to be trendy and comfortable while working out. Comfortable shoes and a fitted outfit that will give you motivation that you need!
Nike shoes, athletica tops, and any cute leggings!

Bell sleeves are all the rage right now! We saw them A LOT this NYFW and we will continue seeing them throughout spring and fall of 2016. This makes me extremely happy, because who doesn’t feel free spirited and sexy in a blouse or dress with bell sleeves?!

Living in an apartment in New York City is an amazing privilege, but can be very hard…. and very small! Here are some hacks to making more room in your tiny home and get the energy flowing through it!

Baskets and baskets, and shelves and shelves!!! You can never have enough baskets, and shelves to put them on. It is important to keep that clutter away, and keep a tiny space tidy.

Have a small closet? Or maybe no closet at all!? Go for a longer wardrobe either in my closet or a corner space in your bedroom. Layering two racks is an easy and clean way to organize your clothes. You can put tops on these two, and either hang your pants at the end or keep them in a drawer or …..basket!

My all time favorite space saver has to be mason jars! They are so cute, and give everything more of a rustic feel. Whether it be your makeup, your bathroom essentials or little things around your apartment, these are easy and creative ways to stay organized and take up less space.

Fashion week is something people prepare for MONTHS in advance! Every February, it is a rush of staying up with fashion trends while also staying warm. Today is the beginning of NYFW 2016, and I have a few necessary essentials everyone needs in order to survive!

A leather jacket!! My favorite thing in my closet, and I’m sure the same goes for everyone else owning one as durable as mine. This is the easiest jacket to dress up, dress down and layer with. And even though you want to look trendy and put together fashion week, you still have to consider being comfortable while sitting through shows and events all day, which is another reason a handy leather jacket is the perfect one!

Nobody remembers how important this is, until they are stopping at a Starbucks charging their phone! A portable charger is a HUGE MUST this week! (preferably this adorable Kate Spade one) It’s essential for your phone, especially when you’re on it all day, taking pictures and working and answering emails while traveling for show and event to another. Bringing a portable charger will make everything a little more convenient and a smoother ride!

Last but not least, COFFEE! And sleep,but we all know that isn’t likely to happen! So coffee, I say is key to NYFW. It’s a crazy, beautiful week filled with creativity and a passion for fashion, so drink some coffee and most importantly, enjoy xx

Hey guys! So much went on at the Today Show Tuesday morning with Kathie Lee and Hoda, as always! We were featured in a style segment titled, The One Item You Need to Revamp Your Wardrobe!

As we embrace the New Year and look to edit or add-on to our wardrobes, you don’t necessarily need to buy out the sales racks, but instead look to solely add ONE item to your closet repertoire to take your outfit up a notch!

Style Expert, Brittney Levine, showcases the ONE item you need to incorporate to your everyday look to revamp your style!

Look1-

The statement belt has been having a moment! If you’re known for gravitating towards a classic style and resort to flouncy dresses for just about every occasion, revamp your wardrobe by slipping a belt on over your evening or everyday dress

Lulus.com offers fabulous statement belts that are so affordable – you can even switch up your belt from day to night! Creates an instant body-hugging flattering silhouette – where were those hips before!? Sense of contrast & shine!

FLOTUS Michelle Obama loves a good statement belt!

Look 2-

Moms get it – when you’re running around doing errands with a potential evening engagement, it’s easy to go black on black and throw on a black coat too. It’s my personal fashion staple when I can’t find anything to wear. Take your style game up a notch with a bold trench coat for winter/spring.

Obsessed with Eloquii’s Vin Rouge trench coat; ideal for women of every shape and size (goes up to Size 24) Flatters the body with a gently flared peplum and waist cinching tie belt. Won’t compromise your comfort factor, but will still allow you to appeal chic and polished.

For the athleisure addict (Who doesn’t feel most comfortable running around in workout clothes all day?!) It’s easy to resort to buying workout gear in all black, us women like to “hide”.

Embrace a bold print and add an unexpected element to your plain black workout pants by donning a legging that pops! Old Navy has released their active wear line this past year with tons of styles and prints; all at amazing price points!

Spending so much money on other clothes, don’t want to spend an arm and a leg on workout gear. Be in an unexpected color or print; this trend is on point!

Look4-

Let’s face it, when traveling it’s hard to look put together

I’m a huge fan of Jennifer Aniston’s style and try to emulate her look when traveling as much as possible! A great way to revamp a a comfy travel look – add a layering piece in the form of a faux-leather moto jacket! I live in mine, maybe too much!

Appears effortless but helps to bring the entire look together. Don’t need to spring for a crazy expensive one, either! Pair with boots or a long, colorful scarf to wrap around your neck (love the collection from Anthropologie) for added effect

Look5-

Are you known as the Solange of your group and not afraid to make a statement? Take a normal dress/jumpsuit/or plain blouse to the next level by adding a statement necklace for a pop of glam!

Bar offers a ton of great, reasonably priced statement necklaces in a variety of hues and dimensions. When you’re wearing one color; i.e. navy blue, pick a statement necklace in the similar color shades to really bring out your outfit (and the jewelry, of course!)

Layering, as always. ais the best thing to do when it comes to Fall and Winter. You layer to stay warm (and to look cute) so what better way to layer, than with other layering pieces?!

Denim Coat layered with long wool trench, paired with denim jeans or to change it up a bit, faux leather pants would pull this outfit together!

You can take the simple, yet warm flannel button-up, and up it under a leather jacket. This is a grunge look, and with ripped jeans and combat boots, would look super comfortable and cute!

And the warmest of them all goes to, the double wool jacket! Put a shorter straight lined jacket, underneath a longer straight lined trench! This will give you COMPLETE warmth, especially if you style it with a chunky scarf.

Have work all day, then have an event to go to right after work? Transitional pieces from the work day to the evening are tricky. This Theory Striped Button Down Dress is the ideal work go-to, but also a perfect evening out look!

It’s knee length, therefor appropriate for any kind of event you are attending. But this striped piece is still sexy and young, so if you want to grab happy hour drinks with your girlfriends after work, it is appropriate for that too!

Don’t go without black tights with the navy dress, especially in the winter! And add some fun accessories.. like my current LOVE, a Chanel leather, chain strap, cross body. It’s a simple, but known and loved bag, and you can do no wrong adding it to an outfit such as thing one!
